Long time ago, I was hyped like everyone else about the IMS. But my PZ (Porsche Zentrum) always calmed me...drive the car regularly or you will find oil spots on your garage floor, which is known and normal, NOTHING to worry about. They checked it every other year...always good, no need to change or replace it.
And my car leaked since day 1, when it sat in the garage too long.
SO...I threw my worries over board ever since...YEAR 21 and still running. Lucky me?

Link removed. Probably out of embarrassment at having so many factual errors pointed out. With that background, I'd not be too trusting of any conclusions he came to either.
Too many armchair engineers.

It was taken down temporarily at the request of the PCA and Jake Raby until things get sorted out with HBI. I also didn’t want people thinking what he said was correct after learning how incorrect it was. I hope to put it back up soon with Jake talking point by point to the errors and her actual helpful information shared.

Not to mention the new Vette and it’s spun bearings and self opening frunk lid when at speed.

Yes, early on there were reports of the electronic trunk release activating by itself. They needed a software update to fix but not before a few drivers got a surprise.

I heard this was related to the frunk button on the key fob, and it was getting pressed while sitting in your pocket.
